Victim Compensation Programs

Victim Compensation Programs are government-funded initiatives that provide financial assistance to individuals who have suffered harm due to crimes, such as violence, theft, or other offenses. These programs help cover expenses like medical bills, counseling, lost wages, or funeral costs when the offender cannot pay. They aim to support victims in their recovery and reduce financial hardship caused by criminal acts. Eligibility criteria vary by jurisdiction, but overall, these programs serve as a safety net to help victims rebuild their lives after experiencing crime.
